A breakthrough in storage technology

Combining many modules it was the first drive that could store a total of GB of data. However the drive was still very large and cost . In an interesting project by Dataram appeared which was the forerunner of modern SSD drives. It used ferrite memory which allowed the drive to be used even without power. However the costs of producing the drive meant that it was never implemented on a larger scale. The first miniature disks In the era of miniature hard drives began. The first drive that fit into a computer case had a.

inch format and weighed . kg. Also in the s Toshiba introduced the first flash standard semiconductor memory. ATA and SATA standards In the ATA hard drive communication interface Phone Number List debuted which enabled higher data transfer rates. Its successor were miniaturized SATA connectors introduced in . A RAID array could be created from the disks connected in this way. The introduction of SATA II and SATA III solutions in the following years allowed the data transfer speed to be increased to Gb s.



HDDs have also evolved in terms of capacity. SSD driveswas the appearance of SSD drives. The new design allowed for a significant reduction in data access time opening up completely new possibilities for modern information processing systems. SSD drives are very resistant to mechanical damage because they have no moving parts. They also guarantee silent operation with very low energy consumption which is why they are used in portable devices. NVMe The development of SSD drive technology has enabled very fast reading and writing of huge amounts of information but communication between the drive and the computer's motherboard has become a bottleneck. The SATA and SAS data transfer standards previously developed to support HDD drives had too low efficiency. The full use of the capabilities of SSD drives was only possible with the introduction of the NVM Express NVMe interface in.
